Don Was Playing 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, at The Basement East The title of the new LP from Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble is also a call to action: Groove in the Face of Adversity. The celebrated multihyphenate, who’s worked with countless legendary artists since the 1980s, tells the Scene that the new album is an attempt at harnessing music’s power to connect and unite people. That’s something the band also hopes to do when their tour stops at The Basement East on Feb. 4.
